[SBE] Ready to turn analog back on?

[Spring, Terry]

We have been testing one of the new coupon friendly STB's.  One of our
staffers was able to pick up all the area DTV's with a set of rabbit
ears.   She had to peak it for almost every station, but then again,
most of the analog stations at her location were fuzzy.  We are passing
the box around and it will be interesting to see what happens at other
locations.  I think I have the only outdoor antenna.

Hello,

I'm new to this list, but not to SBE.  I've spent all of my career in
video production, and so don't have much first-hand knowledge of
transmission.  Are people going to be able to use rabbit-ear and other
indoor antennas for DTV?  Should the public service ads tell people to
get a coupon, an STB and a new (outdoor) antenna?
